"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I'm 160lbs and about 5'11-6' tall. I've been doing Scooby's Teen Workout since January 1st 2010.

www.scoobysworkshop.com

It's under Workout Plans I believe.

I've gained roughly 20lbs of muscle, I did not work out during my school's football and volleyball sports last year. I often eat a protein bar or drink a protein shake after my workout, the bars are Pure Protein and the powder is Body Fortress Whey.

I recently started doing Scooby's Intermediate workout, but I am forced to do these after my volleyball practices and they leave me feeling sore and weak before I even start.

I'm starting to hear about these routines such as Rippetoe's Starting Strength and the Anthony Ellis Skinny Guy Program.

Ideally I would like to gain as many pound of muscle as fast as possible. I;m shooting for at LEAST 190lbs by football season in August.

So can anybody give me suggestions? I would really really appreciate them.

To the OP:

20 lbs on a program without Squats or Deads? Tell us the secret because sounds like bull to me lol. Nonetheless I'd recommend "Starting Strength" By Ripptoe or "Where to Start OPTION B" you can find both in the vault...

cheers mate

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I have a barbell with some weights, but nowhere near the amount I am able to bench.

A gym is POSSIBLE, but will be difficult, as I'd have to go there while balancing homework, volleyball, and dinner. I want to gain weight but I don't know if I have the minerals and time for it...at least not outside of my own house.

Please help me out here, I want to build myself up.
